A lot of the articles on this site promote drinking a lot of water to help lose weight. However, I find that when I drink a lot of water my stomach gets so full and sticks out a lot more than normal. it doesn't make me feel skinny at all! Why is this?

If you have just recently started drinking excessive amounts of water, your stomach WILL bloat for about a week or so. IT is because your body is not used to all of the water and begins to retain it. After about a week, though, you will see a huge difference. You wont be bloated (at least not bloated due water) and you will feel better.
